Oh no! The big new attraction at Cedar Point might remain shut down, according to a Toledo Blade article last weekend. The roller coaster in question, Top Thrill Dragster, is billed as the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world. It reaches 120 MPH and tops 420 feet.The ride has been closed since June 20 and it’s unsure whether it will be fixed in time for the holiday weekend. “‘It’s been down more than its been up,’ [spokeswoman Janice] Witherow conceded. ‘It’s certainly been frustrating for all of us here at Cedar Point.’”
P.S.: This could be an unfortunate black eye for them, but, personally, I stopped going on roller coaster years ago since I get such bad headaches. The last one I was on was Cedar Point’s Raptor, back in 1994.
P.P.S.: I wonder if Janice Witherow is the same person I knew as Janice Lifke, some years ago. Ms Lifke was a great help when I produced a TV show on Cedar Point, as well as being an all-around really nice person. If so, “Hi, Janice!”
